I am somewhat picky on blades because I use them so much. S30V aside, what are forum member's opinions on a "non-prybar" drop point style fixed blade in D2 tool steel for survival and general use?

I noticed this one is real reasonable for a Dozier because of CNC grinding and Bob Dozier still does his 60-61 Rc heat treatment himself: That takes the price probably from a comparable previous model (K-DP) from about $435 down to $195 for the Master Hunter.

Also Bob Dozier makes custom Kydex knife sheaths I found out on his site. If he doesn't already have it, you ship the knife to him. That was something nice to know. I don't work for him, yadda yadda yadda
